(a) A party contesting the validity or enforcement of a registered order or seeking to vacate
the registration has the burden of proving one or more of the following defenses:
(1) the issuing tribunal lacked personal jurisdiction over the contesting party;
(2) the order was obtained by fraud;
(3) the order has been vacated, suspended, or modified by a later order;
(4) the issuing tribunal has stayed the order pending appeal;
(5) there is a defense under the law of this state to the remedy sought;
(6) full or partial payment has been made; or
(7) the statute of limitation under section 518C.604 precludes enforcement of some or
all of the arrearages.
(b) If a party presents evidence establishing a full or partial defense under paragraph (a),
a tribunal may stay enforcement of the registered order, continue the proceeding to permit
production of additional relevant evidence, and issue other appropriate orders. An uncontested
portion of the registered order may be enforced by all remedies available under the law of this
state.
(c) If the contesting party does not establish a defense under paragraph (a) to the validity or
enforcement of the order, the registering tribunal shall issue an order confirming the order.
